The construction sector in Italy is in
crisis? It should then seize the opportunities offered by the global market. A
Six million Euros subcontract of road works, relating to the tracking and
preparation for the paving of 20 kilometers of an artery in the North West Region
of Cameroon was awarded to ATI GREAT WORKS Sarl, Cameroon, a joint venture
between Mr. NTUBE FELIX EWANE and the Italian Companies EDILITALIA of Roberto
and Lorenzo Carpi, CLS CONTRACTORS of LUIGI and STEFANO CALVARESI and the
Engineer of Montagnana, UMBERTO ZERBINATO.

The works began last November and will be
completed in seven to eight months. The project site is located at Akum, on the
outskirts of the city of Bamenda .The tarred road will enable the disenclaving
of several villages and ease movement for the inhabitants of the villages therein
and the region as a whole.
The Italian companies found in their Cameroonian partner, Felix Ewane Ntube, a
very serious and respectable person who through his knowhow and contacts
facilitated their access into the Cameroonian Market. Mr. Ntube who lives with
his family in Ferrara, Italy, knows the skills of these companies and thus gave
them the confidence to work together.

Support for the operation also came from
the Italian Embassy in Yaounde, in particular from the first Counselor Nico
Longo who was pleased to know that the contract would be signed with the local contractor, Mr. Eric Njong of
SOCIETE BUNS ,one of the biggest constructors in Cameroon with whom was
established an immediate feeling .Mr. Longo who is a friend to Mr. Njong
emphasized that even in business human relationships are fundamental and
indispensable .

Edilitalia is actually rounding up some import contracts Iraq where it has signed
two joint ventures with local companies. Edilitalia is also considering
entering the market of Libya and Senegal, in particular for the construction of
numerous residential buildings with prefabricated technology in partnership
with Ma.Bo. Group of Bibbiena, Italy.
